Breakfast

All of our rooms include a full hot breakfast. Breakfast is served from 8am to 9am. Please check with us if you require an earlier breakfast or need a breakfast to go. We are pleased to prepare for special diets if possible and when requested in advance.

Reservations

Reservations are taken up to one year in advance. The Aerie books up well ahead of time during the summer and on holidays, so we strongly suggest making reservations well in advance to make sure we can accommodate your requests.

Room Occupancy

Room rates are based on single or double occupancy. Only certain rooms are designated large enough for additional guest(s). The nightly rate for an additional person in a room is $35.

Deposits and Payment Terms

There is a two-night minimum stay on holidays, weekends and during special events. During January and February, we do take single night stays on weekends except during holidays. Single Friday or Saturday nights do become available sometimes if another guest has reserved a Thursday/Friday or a Saturday/Sunday stay. Please call for availability. The Aerie accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, and cash. At the time of reservation your credit card information will be taken to hold your reservation and a one-night deposit will be billed at the time of reservation. The remaining charges will not be billed until your arrival. If reserving the entire inn for a special function such as a wedding, reunion or conference, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total is required.

Cancellation Policy

Small inns like ours are significantly affected by untimely cancellations. We understand that unforeseen circumstances arise. If your travel plans change and you must cancel your reservation, please call us to cancel your reservation at your earliest convenience so we might be able to re-book the reservation for another guest. PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept cancellations by email.

Our cancellation policy is as follows:

We require at least 72 hours (3 days) notice for cancellation or shortening of your stay. No shows, early check outs, and late cancellations may be responsible for the entire length of their reservation. Reservations made during special event weekends (such as Mumfest or MSBike Ride) will require 7 days’ notice.

We incur a credit card fee at the time of reservation. Therefore, all cancellations will incur a $15.00 administrative and credit card processing fee. If you must cancel within 72 hours of your reservation date, a minimum of one night’s stay will be charged to your credit card unless we are able to re-book the room for the whole period of the original reservation. If we are unable to re-book the room, the amount charged to you, at our option, may be applied to a return visit to The Aerie within six months of the original reservation date.

We cannot be responsible for travel delays, health issues, inclement weather, or early departures. A reservation made using a prior balance carried over by a previous cancellation will become non-refundable for a future stay regardless of the date canceled.

*A 30-day cancellation notice is required on whole house bookings and for some holidays and special events. When reserving the entire property for a group, wedding or other function, a non-refundable deposit of 50% is required at the time of booking.

Cancellation Policy for All Spa Services

Spa services are also subject to a $15.00 administrative fee for any and all cancellations made prior to 72 hours of scheduled services as noted on our web site.
